At last the revelation theater fans have been waiting for: The Book of Mormon, Broadway’s most popular new musical in nearly a decade, will arrive in Dallas on Aug. 21.

The Lexus Broadway Series revealed last year that the blockbuster hit would be part of its 2013-2014 season. The exact dates only came to light when the AT&T Performing Arts Center announced the entire season on Thursday.

One other new show, Peter and the Starcatcher, is on the roster. So are the touring versions of two recent Broadway revivals, The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess and Godspell. Disney’s stage adaptation of its animated classic Beauty and the Beast returns to round out the season.

The Book of Mormon is the brainchild of South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, along with Robert Lopez (Avenue Q). It follows two young Mormon missionaries as they bring their message to a tribe in Africa. The show’s outrageous humor has offended some audience members, but that didn’t keep it from running away with nine Tony Awards, including the one for best musical, in 2011.

Tickets for The Book of Mormon are still hard to come by in New York. Most weeks, the show is one of Broadway’s three top-grossing. Dallas audiences also have the chance to see the other two best-sellers, the long-running Wicked and even longer-running The Lion King, in the rival Dallas Summer Musicals season this year.

“Getting a subscription is the only way to ensure getting a seat for The Book of Mormon,” ATTPAC director of marketing Dana Cobb said on Thursday. “It’s also the only way to be sure of getting the most reasonable price for tickets to any of the shows.”

The Lexus series, like many other institutions around the country, has begun dynamic pricing in recent years. Like the cost an airline seat, the price of a ticket may change due to demand and scarcity.

Cobb said she didn’t expect The Book of Mormon’s controversial language and sense of humor would be an issue because the show is so well publicized by this time that people will know what to expect. Porgy and Bess also deals with adult sexual situations and drugs, whereas the other three shows in the season are family fare.

Peter and the Starcatcher won more Tonys than any other Broadway show last year, but its run lasted only nine months in New York. Rick Elice’s play with music recounts how Peter Pan became the boy who never grew up. The Dallas Theater Center will be producing its own new musical based on the Peter Pan story, Fly, this summer, so audiences will have a chance to compare the two treatments.

Porgy and Bess, with a new libretto adapted by Suzan-Lori Parks, was last year’s Tony winner for best musical revival. Once a Broadway staple, the Gershwin brothers’ masterpiece had become the property of opera houses until director Diane Paulus re-imagined this new version for Broadway.

Stephen Schwartz also revised Godspell for last season’s revival and the current tour. Theatre Three originally announced the show for its current season but had to substitute Crazy for You when the tour made the rights unavailable.
